What forces layout/reflow. The comprehensive list.

What forces layout / reflow

All of the below properties or methods, when requested/called in JavaScript, will trigger the browser to synchronously calculate the style and layout*. This is also called reflow or layout thrashing, and is common performance bottleneck.

Generally, all APIs that synchronously provide layout metrics will trigger forced reflow / layout. Read on for additional cases and details.

Element APIs

Getting box metrics
  • elem.offsetLeft, elem.offsetTop, elem.offsetWidth, elem.offsetHeight, elem.offsetParent

Performace patch for ruby-1.9.3-p327

Changes:

  • this version includes backport of Greg Price's patch for speedup startup http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7158 .

    ruby-core prefers his way to do thing, so that I abandon cached-lp and sorted-lf patches of mine.

  • this version integrates 'array as queue' patch, which improves performance when push/shift pattern is heavily used on Array.

    This patch is accepted into trunk for Ruby 2.0 and last possible bug is found by Yui Naruse. It is used in production* for a couple of months without issues even with this bug.

Parallelize assets:precompile
require 'parallel' # gem install parallel (https://github.com/grosser/parallel)
# Monkey patch to Sprockets::StaticCompiler, a class provided by actionpack
# that's used by the assets:precompile task. This patch uses the Parallel gem
# to parallelize asset compilation in the simplest way possible.
#
# Parallel wraps Process.fork to handle things like inter-process communication
# via pipes and determining the maximum number of processes to run based on
# your system's total logical processors. So far only tested on MRI 1.9.3 on OS X.
